Joseph A Girouard Started His Workshop!

• Do you often use food for coping with stress or
  tend to eat more when youre upset? 
• Do you struggle with auto-pilot or nighttime
  overeating?
• Do you feel out-of-control around certain foods?
• If you relate to any of these questions, you
  arent alone, says Joseph A Girouard who is a
  well-known nutrition expert based in Miami,
  Florida. Recently, he was in NYC to conduct a
  workshop on coping with emotional eating and help
  people dealing with the disorder.

What Exactly Is Emotional Eating According To
Girouard?

• Emotional eating, also known as mindless eating
  is eating food to satisfy your emotional needs
  rather than your physical hunger, explained
  Joseph Girouard during the workshop.
• Delving deeper into the topic, he said that
  negative emotions lead to feelings of emptiness
  and food unfortunately is believed by many to be
  an effective way for filling that void.
• However, what it actually does is create
  temporary wholeness or a false feeling of
  fullness.

Girouards Views on Coping with Emotional Eating

• Joseph A Girouard said that there could be many
  reasons why you cannot stop emotional eating,
  such as inability to handle difficult feelings,
  seeing food as your only pleasure, etc.
• Diverting your mind as soon as you experience an
  eating trigger due to negative emotions is the
  best way to cope with it.
